(LifeSiteNews.com) - Archbishop John Hepworth, Primate of the Traditional Anglican Communion (TAC) of the Anglican Catholic Church in Australia, celebrated the opening Mass of the Holy Spirit at the Synod of the Anglican Catholic Church in Australia at the end of July.

In his homily, the archbishop said that "Christianity is now the most persecuted of all the world’s religions. In almost one third of the world’s nations it is in some way illegal to be Christian."

Archbishop Hepworth noted that secular humanism has coalesced the enemies of the Christian morality on which Western nations were founded. These have come out in opposition to principles such as the dignity of human life from conception to natural death, and the value of the natural family as the fundamental unit of civilized society.

"The power of secular humanism, in denial that anything exists beyond this life, and in its thirst for material possessions, has made a strange alliance with the enemies of Christianity," the archbishop explained. the rest
